BP4_WiZiQ


WiZiQ is a platform for online teaching. In this platform you are allowed to store and provide links to online classes that you develop. WiZiQ allows you the space for your very own virtual classroom. In this classroom this service allows for live collaboration, sharing of content and the use of You Tube videos. You are able to download your videos or host with them. You can record videos for future dates and send the links to your students. This service does track attendance which would be an excellent way to hold  accountability without actually having to be present for a lecture.

This is a paid site that has a monthly fee or a yearly fee which ever you choose to pay. I am excited about this because whatever the cost would be lower than having an office where you had to pay rent and utilities. What a great way to set up office on the web! The way they have it set up is you pay for a room to hold your class. $10 a month per room with 10 students if more students attend the monthly fee is higher, but cost effective. Really all that needs to be done is set up your account through payola and when payment is received they get the link to the class. Students do not need to sign up to attend classes. What a great way to do online tutoring because there is a live feed option! How exciting!



Build and up load your video at a later date!



Make a schedule for your classes!!
